Mary Ann's birthday card....

My sweet sister-in-law Mary Ann had a birthday recently and turned, well, we won't say how old (unless you can figure it out from her birthday card, hee hee) but it was a milestone birthday! Anyway, I wanted to make her a very special card. I had seen a similar card on Pinterest and knew this was the card for Mary Ann!!

I used this Cascading card layout before on m blog in the past, so I won't repeat them here again. You can find them if you scroll back.

I used a retired SU balloon punch for the colorful balloons. And the "60" was cut with a non-SU die.

The stars are punched from silver glimmer paper. I cut strips on acetate from sheets and used glue dots to attach the stars to them. This makes the stars "dance" and "twinkle" when you open out the card.

I had some blue and green netting left over from some dance skirts I made in past years and just cut that and glued it inside the card to all "fluff."
